It seems that sometimes the mysqli extension in EasyApache will not compile in properly on CentOS4.
It was failing with this error:

Evidently, CentOS 4 has some issues with mysqli. The fix that worked is as follows:
Add the following to lines to the all_php5 file which should allow mysqli to install properly.
touch /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5
vim /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5
add:
--enable-mysqlnd
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd
:wq
to save the file. After that, simply re-run
/scripts/easyapache --build
and mysqli should install properly after that.
When the build completes verify the install with a
php -m |grep mysqli
and/or
php -i |grep mysqli
for the mysqli extension settings.
